Batch Record Management System

1. Batch Record Management In the pharmaceutical industry, there are various types of data that are needed to be recorded. Traditionally, pharmaceutical industries use paper to maintain Batch Records like Batch Manufacturing Records (BMR), BPR, process and equipment templates, etc. in order to maintain pace with the standards of FDA, MHRA, etc. But paper work is a difficult task to maintain if there is bulk of data, which actually is in large amounts. Today with the advancement in the technologies there are facilities to maintain a bulk amount of data with ease. Pharmaceutical companies are now using Electronic Batch Records (EBRs). EBRs help Pharmaceutical companies to reduce paperwork errors, increase the rate of information and collaboration. Batch record management provides few benefits like- Accuracy and consistency- accuracy and consistency is possible only for an individual if he is not having any distractions, but a human mind will always have something in mind and this will create some errors in it. An automated system will give accurate and consistent results for the data provided. Compliance Costs- Compliance of any process requires capturing information, organizing information, analyzing information and presenting information accurately and batch record management system will do this perfectly with a minimal cost. Increase Productivity- with the enhancement in the connectivity of internal people to the external customers and staff the productivity will increase because of the implementation of common user interface. Batch record systems also reduce time –consuming, error-prone data re-entry resulting from paper work. Decision Making- With paper or manual based data, it is difficult to manipulate the record and take decisions quickly. They require more time investment for studying and presenting the result. But with batch records management system, the data is in a stable format and thus providing a quick decision making.
